The God Virus

122 Thirty Seconds



"Start" At the same time as he heard this voice, the book in front of him disappeared.

'So it's about to start... that book must've been just a guide to let me understand how this exam works before it actually begins.'

'Also, it seems the ratio of the time difference between here and the outside world is 120:1 and every hour outside is one hundred and twenty hours inside... that's amazing, though this seems to be putting some pressure on my mind as it's making the mind overload... now this much pressure is no problem for me and I can easily bear with it, but for a normal person, one hour must be the limit...hmm.' Virus pondered to himself.

As these kinds of thoughts were passing through his head, he saw that the countdown had changed into 119:59:40 and it kept decreasing more and more.

A new blank book had also appeared in front of him by now, he just needed to begin thinking and filling the book.

So not wanting to waste any more of his time, Virus decided to first fill and complete the book in front of him with the fastest speed possible in order to know how much of his thinking and processing speed could the white space tolerate and keep up with and also he wanted to clarify how much time would he need exactly to input the knowledge of all of the thousand books in this exam.

So, when the countdown was at 119:59:30, he began to think with the fastest speed possible to input all of the knowledge.

Then, a moment later, like lightning, pages after pages were flapped as the book was instantly complete.

So looking at the countdown to see how much time had passed, Virus realized it was still 119:59:30!

'Hmm... so it doesn't even take a second to input all of the knowledge I have in my mind huh? And all of those wasted times in between was wasted for the pages to turn over... ' Virus pondered.

Then he realized, 'So in order to not exceed the limit this space can tolerate... they have set a time limiter on it which is set in the form of the pages turning to the next and the time it takes for the new book to appear huh... a good limiter to keep it from being destroyed by stronger minds...'

On the other side of the door outside, everyone including Astes and the pagoda elder were watching the orb to see what happens next.

But except Astes and the elder who was a little hopeful, everyone else was only watching it because they were interested to see just how bad his results would be and how much it would amuse them, other than that, they weren't even considering him passing the test.

Everyone was watching the orb with a lack of interest when suddenly, the percentage of the bar changed into one-tenth of a percent instantly as the book above it also showed that all of the knowledge relating to the book was inputted fully inside.

Seeing this, at first, everyone thought it was one-hundredth of a percent rather than one-tenth, so there was no reaction whatsoever from their side, but suddenly, one of them uttered, "Eh, why is it one-tenth instead of one-hundredth... am I seeing wrong?" Saying that, he rubbed his eyes wanting to see if he was seeing wrong or hallucinating.

Hearing that disciples' words, everyone paid attention to the number, but then... they all turned dumbfounded!

The elder and Astes too were feeling extremely shocked, so they immediately checked the book above the bar to see what the book was showing.

And what they saw promptly surprised them even more.

"Ehhh... what's happening, why did the number change into one-tenth of a percent all of a sudden?" One of the disciples mumbled.

"What's going on, is the 'Examination Door' broken? Is something wrong with it?" Another said.

'Is this a coincidence?' In the meantime, Astes wondered to herself.

"What's going on elder? Could it be the 'examination' is not working flawlessly? That must be it, right?" Frowning and feeling a little nervous inside, Alice inquired.

The elder was currently surprised too just like everyone else, but putting his surprise aside immediately, he stated, "There is no way the door is malfunctioning or flawed, because I'm checking the 'Examination Door' as we speak and I'm sure that it's totally fine and its qi is entirely healthy... but maybe there was a little delay in the qi of this orb which shows the result..."

Then he continued, "What you need to know is that this result is absolutely accurate. He must've written down the knowledge of a whole book..."

'Maybe... these disciples judged him wrongly...' The elder thought after his explanation.

Listening to the elder's explanation, everyone felt stupefied as they thought, 'What's going on here exactly?'

Currently, inside the white space, Virus was thinking to himself, 'Hmm, should I just input everything I know in one go? Or should I input them one by one slowly throughout the time I have left?'

After the previous book was perfected, it flew high up in the white space as it stopped hovering there as another book appeared in front of Virus, waiting to be filled.

'Well, the more I impress them, the better it would be, so...'

'I'll just do it fast, and if they doubt that the 'Examination Door' is broken or something... I'll just take the exam again after they check it up...'

'So... let's just be done with this and get out of this space.' Finally, making his decision Virus looked at the book in front of him which was filled with his previous thoughts.

But after he willed for the page to turn blank, all of his thoughts were instantly erased.

'Let's... begin.' Then, as this thought ran through his mind, all of the pages of the hovering book in front of him was instantly filled before the book flew high above and stopped hovering just beside the previous book.

But without delaying at all, he filled the second book instantly too... then the third!

Then... the forth!

.

.

The repetitive process continued just like that as books after books flew to the sky of the white sky like flying birds as they hovered beside the other complete books.

If anyone else was currently present in this space, they would've been truly amazed by the sight in front of them, as with a puff of air a book would appear in front of Virus but almost even before it had appeared, it would be filled with texts before flying high up, but once again before they even begin to fly up, another book would appear just to be filled with knowledge and texts again!

Soon, the books which were hovering in the sky of the white space reached a hundred.

And realizing the number of books had reached a hundred, Virus stopped for a moment in order to check the countdown.

119:58:02

Seeing the countdown, Virus realized he had filled a hundred books in around thirty seconds, which meant he has filled ten books around every three seconds, though more precisely, almost all of the three seconds was the time it took for the book to appear and for the pages to turn over.

'Hmm, this speed is good enough.' Virus thought in satisfaction.
